Health Coaching

Health coaching involves health educators supporting students as they set goals, name challenges, explore their values & strengths, and access personal motivations to develop and sustain healthy behaviors and attitudes. Students can schedule up to two follow up appointments with a health educator for a total of three coaching sessions per health issue.

Health coaching is never a replacement for medical care or mental health counseling and is not appropriate to address crisis or emergency situations. To schedule a health coaching appointment, please send us an email to healthandwellnessed@middlebury.edu.

If you are a MIIS student, schedule via Bookings.
